Sketching – Capturing Moments with Pen and Color

Malerisch auf einem sanften Hügel im Herzen Mallorcas gelegen, inmitten von Olivenhainen und Feigenbäumen, ist die Son Manera Retreat Finca eine Oase der Ruhe und Entspannung. Spüren Sie zu jeder Jahreszeit die mediterrane Sonne auf Ihrer Haut, atmen Sie tief durch. Genießen Sie das ganzjährige Yogaangebot für alle Levels und lassen Sie sich mit vegetarisch-veganen Köstlichkeiten verwöhnen. Entspannen Sie am Pool, in unserem großzügigen Spa mit Indoorpool und Saunen oder in einer Hängematte im Garten. Mit Liebe zum Detail gestalten wir im Ambiente dieses schönen Anwesens Ihre nachhaltige Auszeit. Unweit des kleinen Ortes Montuiri und nur 30 Minuten von Palma und den traumhaften Stränden der Insel entfernt. Wir laden Sie ein zu Glücksmomenten auf Son Manera.

We’ll treat your taste buds to a full-board menu consisting primarily of vegetarian and vegan dishes. You can enjoy our feel-good breakfast—featuring tea, coffee, fruit juices, fresh fruit, regional cheeses, seasonal vegetables, homemade jams, granola, porridge, homemade bread, and much more—until 11 a.m. In the late afternoon, you can refuel with freshly prepared soups and salads, before being treated to a buffet featuring vegetarian and vegan specialties in the evening.

Discover drawing as a wonderful way to unwind on vacation, to be fully present in the here and now, and to appreciate the beauty of the moment. You’ll explore the various materials and techniques that allow you to quickly capture your impressions on paper. The focus is on relaxed sketching and having fun. In a community of like-minded people, motivation grows through mutual inspiration. The Son Manera Retreat Finca and its picturesque surroundings offer countless subjects that we’ll explore sketch by sketch, watercolor by watercolor.

Our themes: landscape, botany, architecture, and figurative subjects (people, including details such as portraits and hands). We’ll explore proportions, scale, colors, architecture, and perspective. We’ll explore subject selection, framing, and the art of omission. Topics that might seem difficult (perspective!) lose their intimidating edge because they’re explained in a clear and understandable way. And voilà—suddenly it works—once you know how.

PROGRAM DETAILS

The course is suitable for absolute beginners, for people who mistakenly believe they can’t draw, as well as for advanced students. The program leader will meet each participant at their current level of knowledge. Together, we’ll build on that foundation.

In a pleasant atmosphere, experience just how relaxing it can be to sketch what you see. You’ll return home with a sketchbook full of impressions and won’t want to miss out on the joy of drawing in the future.
